@4xCaliban The proposal is no more than another province (Quebec) already has though. Continued full federal compensation for in-province equivalents to federal programs.

[Joey @jbburant]

@Sarahjdublin It is possible to be both though, as are the Irish. Surely you’re not arguing against the existence of indigenous, ethnically Irish people.

@WordMercenary Some also commodify all of their time: time spent cooking is time that could be spent making money.

@daniel_dsj2110 I’m told we’re meant to be reading the stuff we cite and other people publish.

@DemolishSEblvd @NXT4EU I never said she was half American. You’re either American or not. But she’s also Hungarian. She’s a dual citizen. Why is that confusing to you?

[Joey @jbburant]

@DemolishSEblvd @NXT4EU lol what? I’m not advocating nationalism. Nothing I’ve said is racist. Are you okay?

[Joey @jbburant]

@DemolishSEblvd @NXT4EU Typical. Do half the work, take all the credit, never admit you’re wrong. ✌️

[Joey @jbburant]

@DemolishSEblvd @NXT4EU I never suggested Americans weren’t conducting excellent research. I’m saying other countries do as well. Have a nice day.

[Joey @jbburant]

@DemolishSEblvd Fair enough. She identifies as both Hungarian and American.

[Joey @jbburant]

@DemolishSEblvd @NXT4EU Take semaglutide: at least five people (🇩🇰, 🇩🇰, 🇨🇦, 🇲🇰/🇺🇸, 🇺🇸) could reasonably be awarded the inevitable prize. It’s capped at three. In reality, that fantastic scientific achievement belongs to teams of dozens of scientists, not individuals.

[Joey @jbburant]

@DemolishSEblvd @NXT4EU The bigger point is that major prizes fail to capture how science works, the international efforts involved in scientific discovery, and the accumulation of knowledge across generations. Standing on giants’ shoulders, as it were.

@DemolishSEblvd @NXT4EU You said CRISPR was discovered in the US. It wasn’t. You were wrong, it’s okay.

[Joey @jbburant]

@DemolishSEblvd @NXT4EU Uh, no. CRISPR was discovered in Japan (Ishino). The Nobel prize for CRISPR/Cas9 genetic scissoring was jointly awarded to an American (Doudna) and a French person (Charpentier). Their achievements built on decades of work by dozens of international research groups.

@CoreyWriting America was and is expansionist and imperialist. The truth is now anti-American?

[Joey @jbburant]

@realmfoster You know you’re right, those cameras are fascist.

[Joey @jbburant]

@Absurd_Ruka Typical slopulist leftism would have you believe all oil and petrochemical consumption is induced demand. It’s extremely demeaning and assumes a complete lack of agency over our consumption habits.

@Phoxotic Because every addition actor with a nuclear weapon is a threat. First and foremost to US global hegemony and, secondarily, to world peace. The goal is to keep as many cats in the bag as possible. It’s not complicated.

@loveyleaf0000 I don’t think it’s so uncertain, actually. They are usually connected to other waterbodies, or have been at some point in geological and evolutionary history.
